He was the last audition for the day, and boy, did Durban really save the best for last! Khaya Mthethwa is a Pastor’s Kid (P.K) so he has been singing in church for a long time. It shows!

As he began to sing Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are” – the Judges’ faces lit up more than a 6-year old kid on Christmas morning. Gareth was so relieved he gushed: “Thank you, Durban!” Unathi said: “You are incredible. Don’t loose your fire!” And high praise from Randall too: “See you in the Top 10.”

We thought that was the end of it, but Unathi asked for an encore. Imagine that! Khaya continued to serenade the Judges with John Lengend’s “So High”. Unathi went as far as joining him for an impromptu duet.

Khaya also impressed viewers so much so he became a trending topic on Twitter! Here are a few fan tweets:
